Start Here Every dance begins with the first step

Chris is a fantastic teacher. He made it fun and relaxed for a complete beginner ..  thank you !

An amazing non judgemental and welcoming environment which I looked forward to week to week.

Had such a great time in the Dance Basics course with Chris, his energy, humour and music selection was awesome. I am definitely going to keep dancing and look forward to attending some more classes soon.

Kane was my dance teacher for the first  2 lessons and I absolutely loved how he taught u the fundamentals and he really showed us what it is to be a good dancer and he really focused so well on having a good foundation which I didn’t realise how necessary it was and it really made a difference to my moves!

Love Wednesday Heels classes with Ashanti. Nice warm up and stretch,   heel walk and turn technique and always great choreography. Recommend to everyone that wants to learn sass on heels.

Not usually one for reviews, but this studio deserves it. After years of modern jazz and ballroom, I decided to give ballet a whirl—and Justin made it an absolute blast. He’s the perfect mix of encouragement, technique, and humor. The vibe here is all about learning, improving, and having a great time while doing it. I’ve also tried classes with other teachers and had a fantastic time with them too. Amazing studio—thanks for all the effort you put into making it such a fun place to dance!

Participating in tap classes at the Dance Workshop has given me a new zest for life! The warm, encouraging, and non-judgmental atmosphere put me at ease allowing me to express myself freely.  At the same time the school does not compromise on quality when it comes to stage performances.  I am grateful to have met so many inspirational people – still tapping at age 70 plus!

I have attended adult tap classes for nearly 20 years in different locations.

The Dance Workshop is the only studio I know  where students learn continuously at classes following an annual syllabus .  During the year, EVERY student improves.

The over 50’s Jazz class is so uplifting. A range of dance moves and styles are taught, so you never get bored. In the class Ashanti gives a lot of attention to technique and the ‘feel’ of the music. It is a non judgemental space, with an amazing group of women and a lot of fun as well !

I am so glad I decided to give this class a try. 2 years down the track it is my favourite activity of the week. It’s so much fun.! What a great way to exercise plus be part of a welcoming, friendly community. Ashanti is a wonderful teacher.

Leanne is one of Australia’s top tap teachers! An absolute ball of passion, energy, and fun. I look forward to her classes greatly every week.

Heels beginners is an Awesome class. New dance every week. Everyone is very encouraging of each other. At the end I always feel great and more confident than before.

I have just finished the Dance Basics course with the fabulous Dee Dee and what a fun and energising 5 weeks it was! Dee Dee was so vibrant and encouraging and the whole class was swept up in her enthusiasm every week.

I am so glad that my work friend and I took the leap and enrolled. Our weekly classes were the talk of the office and our colleagues looked forward to our demos in the lunchroom – we LOVED it!

I first read an article about “Ballet for Veterans” which is a program for returned vets suffering from PTSD in Queensland and that lead me to the Silver Swans, which started in 2017. As a person of a certain age, the gym and other get fit programs are not for me so I thought I would give this a go and it has been a revelation. Never danced in my life other than awkward gyrations in my youth and it really is such fun, plus, surprise surprise you don’t go home feeling stiff and saw which was a great revelation. Vivian is very thoughtful and kind with her encouragement and support for the ‘lesser beings’ in the group, so you never feel inferior, stupid or awkward, everyone just moves to their own pace, are very caring and it’s just a wonderful experience. So glad I found it !!

This class is a joy. Karen’s classes provide an achievable challenge and her clear presentation and faultless technique just work for me. Her music selection is inspiring and the beautiful choreography fits so very well. Makes my heart sing and stresses just evaporate.

Daryl’s classes are brilliant! He is a passionate, creative, beautiful (yep, that too!) and kind teacher. From the first minute, Daryl establishes a safe and supportive environment for all dancers, where we can improve and challenge ourselves or just have fun. Daryl’s technique is amazing, and sometimes it is rewarding just looking at him demonstrate the steps. I love his creative choreographies. Every week there are new and engaging sequences of steps with a wide range of music. Can’t recommend his classes enough 🙂

This class is amazing. It has everything,cardio, technique and most of all fun. Ashanti is a wonderful teacher who makes everyone feel welcome and the ladies are friendly ,supportive and inclusive. Such a blessing to be in this class.

These lovely classes (Weds 5.15 and Fri 10.45) cater to all my ballet needs/ wishes. The beautiful sequences give a feeling of truly dancing and bring the joy that comes with that feeling. This is made more achievable by Justin’s attention to detail in developing the technique necessary for these steps.

I am truly grateful for having discovered these classes and a teacher who understands exactly what is required.

A wonderful nurturing dance school for adults of all ages and levels. Ashanti is a patient well organised teacher. Her routines are fabulous well thought out and of the right level for the class. I throughly enjoy her classes and look forward to attending each week.

I have been enjoying flamenco at DWS for 10 years now and love it more than ever.  The community and quality of the lessons are fantastic.  Everyone at DWS is so friendly and helpful.  I would attend every day if I could.  The atmosphere is warm, welcoming and respectful I have made so many great friends and when I am dancing I get to exercise regularly without even realising I am.  Can highly recommend flamenco at DWS – come and join us!

This is the best dance studio I have attended in Perth. Teachers are amazing , staffs are very helpful and friendly. I have been attending classes almost everyday for over a year now since moved to Perth from Sydney last year and it’s become an Important part of my life and I missed my classes so much while I was away travelling!

I’m happy with the class, Rafaela is amazing,

I really enjoyed Dance Basics with Chris. We had a lot of laughs and ended up being able to dance routines that were pretty impressive for beginners. Dancing in a group is a great feeling, good exercise and much more fun than a gym class. I am not young or slim but the atmosphere at Dance Workshop is completely inclusive.  I did the previous course with Dee Dee and loved that too. I’m looking forward to the next one.
See you there!

I have been coming to this class for 4 years now and I love it!! The support and care from Ram, the teacher, is amazing. We’re a family.

Give it a go, it’s fun, inclusive and you won’t regret it.!

Leanne is a wonderful teacher. I hadn’t done tap for about 25 years. It reopened a happy place in my heart. It was also great because I was able to do it with my 25-year-old daughter. I did tap basics twice and now I am doing elementary. Leanne is patient and very encouraging and has an immense knowledge of tap. I am telling my friends.

Justin is the best teacher ever, he is so patient, supportive and motivating, and his technical knowledge is unsurpassed. The class is filled with lovely, friendly, non-judgmental people of all ages and abilities.

Lucy was a great teacher. She guided me through the steps and showed me how to leap and do a full turn in Jazz. I thoroughly enjoyed my first ever Jazz class

Dee Dee is sensitive to the participants so that everyone is enjoying themselves and not worrying about any differences in capability. I look forward to each class.

Loved the class. Just the right balance of the familiar and challenges, the straight forward and intricacies. Leanne must be the most passionate tap teacher in town. Actually, she most definitely is. Her passion is infectious, her skills enviable, glorious and her friendly teaching style is tops. Glad to be back at the DWS.

I have been to a lot of stretch classes but this was easily the best I’ve been to in 15 years! Such a range increase from the order and the PNF, I can’t believe I haven’t been to this class sooner!

My first Fab Over 50 Jazz Class. Had a great time, a great workout and actually knew a few steps. Ashanti is a great instructor. All the ladies were so welcoming and helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will be back for more.

Dee Dee is absolutely amazing! Her positive attitude and kindness made the dance basic class a safe space for everyone to learn in. She is so wonderful with her teaching to ensure everyone gets a turn at the front of the class and learns at least one thing each lesson. My confidence in my dancing has improved so much thanks to Dee Dee and she has inspired me to continue dancing.

Love it ! Time go so fast in the class!! It’s awwwwesome!

After over a decade away from the barre, I have loved getting back into ballet at TDW, learning from Justin.

There is the expected importance placed on teaching and maintaining good technique, but what I love most is the nuanced guidance he instils for best performance. The subtleties of head placement, facial expression and carriage, which overall results in a complete well rounded dance education.

His love and passion for ballet is evidenced through his teaching, making me further realise and truly appreciate ballet as an art form.

Wonderful caring warm instructor made me feel welcome and safe to do as much or as little as I was able. Great mix of warmup, stretching and dance. Great vibe!

Love it. This is the first time I’ve tried ballet at age of 30 and I could be more happier. The classes are very well curated and both of the teacher are amazing. Both Lucy and Justin are incredible and very passionate about what they do. I’m actually happy that we got to have two different instructors as it made the classes a bit more interesting. I’ll be actually very interested to continue the classes for the next level if available.

Justin’s ballet classes are just beautiful. Technique is superb and choreography stunning. Highly recommend for beginners or those returning to ballet after time away.

Thank you for having a welcoming and super nice ballet teacher, Lucy!
I will never stop! There is nothing quite like ballet and to have a teacher like Lucy is just the cherry on the top!
Thank you Dance Workshop!

Leanne is a great teacher she makes the classes so much fun . I have learnt a lot and am looking forward to the next class.

Bollywood dance class with Ram is an absolute delight. I came to the class straight from “Absolute Beginners”, and it has been wonderful. The class is bright, funny, graceful and challenging. Everyone made me so welcome! Ram is an amazing teacher and a beautiful soul.

Fantastic first class! Challenging and fun. Ram is a joy.

Being over 50 is a fabulous period of your life, and…..combine that with a Jazz class designed for the ‘mature person’, makes it even more fabulous! Do you want to feel alive with the exuberance of Ashanti’s music, choreography, technical skills and personality, along with the joy of meeting an amazing group of fellow class members? Then Fab After 50’s Jazz on a Friday morning is a must for you – as it is for me!

I was a bit nervous to try a dance class, but the beginner hip hop class was so fun and not scary at all. I’m excited for the rest of the classes in the course and to try to remember all the new things I learnt. I would highly recommend the classes to anyone even if you never danced before you will have a fun time.

Had a great lesson last night and surprised at how much muscle memory had been embedded from last week’s class! The dance steps flowed much easier and wasn’t nearly as confusing, so I felt we really accomplished alot last night! So excited to continue with the lessons and grow this fun skill more!

Ash’s Tap class is the best way to exercise and have fun at the same time. All we need now is a second class please??!!

I’ve been doing tap basics on Monday nights with Leanne and love it! I have learnt loads, laughed loads and surprised myself by what I can do. Tapping to great music is the highlight of my Monday!
